Mr. Holmes Quote
[solving his last case] Sherlock Holmes: The bees... didn't do it. The bees were not to blame. It was the wasps! Roger was trying to find out what was killing the bees. And he did. He found the wasps' nest. He had to stop them wiping out the bees. And so he did the worst possible thing. He tried to drown them with water from his can.
Mrs. Munro: How do you know it was them?
Sherlock Holmes: Bees leave their stings. Wasps don't. There were no stings left in Roger's face. And when they attacked, he dropped the watering can and ran up to protect the bees. There are his footprints from the apiary to the nest and back.
Mrs. Munro: He was trying to save the bees.
Sherlock Holmes: Yes. [Together, they pour kerosene on the wasps' nest, and set it ablaze]
